'Happy Gilmore 2' shoots up the charts, earns Netflix's biggest opening weekend numbers
Adam Sandler's big swing at Netflix has paid off. "Happy Gilmore 2" snagged 91.9 million minutes watched in its first weekend, per Netflix's internal data. This amounts to 46.7 million views between July 25 and 27, according to the streamer's calculations. This viewership gives Sandler's star-studded sequel bragging rights for having the biggest U.S. opening weekend of all time for a Netflix movie, a spokesperson for the streamer confirmed to USA TODAY on July 30. "Happy Gilmore 2" is currently in the No. 1 position for movies streamed worldwide. Variety was first to report the news. In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter, Vienna (Sunny Sandler), to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again and runs into old pal Shooter McGavin. 'I didn't practice at all': Adam Sandler, 'Happy Gilmore' stars spill on filming sequel Happy also teams up with the who's who of the PGA Tour – including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa – to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport. The number of cameos from stars like Bad Bunny (who was billed as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio and had decent screen time to flex his acting chops), Eminem, Kid Cudi and Travis Kelce even shocked Julie Bowen, who plays Happy's wife, Virginia.

And I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'" Christopher McDonald, who plays Happy's one-time nemesis Shooter, also found himself starstruck. "I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training. But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: 'Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler.'

Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix Deal Isn't Being Renewed
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." THE RUNDOWN Netflix will not be renewing Meghan and Harry's content deal with them, a source confirmed to People. The decision was mutual and comes after streaming numbers were released for their projects With Love, Meghan and Polo. Meghan and Harry still made history with their documentary series Harry & Meghan, with a source saying, 'There's no animosity from either side.' This morning, a Hollywood insider confirmed to People that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 2020 Netflix deal, worth a reported $100 million, isn't being renewed when their contract ends in September. The source said it reflects a 'shift in Netflix's broader business strategy.' People noted that The Sun was the first to report the news. The British tabloid wrote that the decision was mutual. The couple had three major projects with the streamer: their documentary series Harry & Meghan, Meghan's lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, and Harry's polo documentary series Polo. Harry & Meghan became Netflix's highest-viewed documentary when it premiered, with over 28 million households watching the first part in December 2022. Harry and Meghan's other two projects had fewer views. The first season of Meghan's lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has had 5.3 million views so far, according to Netflix's July 17 Engagement Report, which tracks content performance for the first half of 2025. It ranked 383rd on the list of most watched programming. Harry's series Polo, which came out in December, was much further down in 3,436th place with 500,000 views. A source told The Sun that as Meghan, Harry, and Netflix part ways, 'there's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.' The insider explained, 'The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple. Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series [Harry & Meghan], and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair. They're not unhappy with how things turned out—they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time.' Netflix and Meghan will do more business together, however: The streaming company will air the second season of With Love, Meghan this fall. Netflix has also partnered with her on her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which has consistently sold out whenever Meghan releases new product drops.
